Wow! I read the book “Around the world in 50 years” where author makes it a mission to visit every single country and territory. If I remember correctly he kept Congo, Niger and Somalia at the last because of very high chance of getting killed/robbed/abducted. In Somalia he was required to have two armed bodyguards 24x7 as condition for visa.

You didn’t faced any of these?

No, nothing even remotely close. I ate a local street-food places, wild camped in my Jeep and walked around whatever towns I wanted to. I have never once felt threatened or concerned. People here are fantastically friendly.

I won't be going to Somalia.
